Quick ? for those with RB exhaust...

Do the larger 4" tips radiate enough heat to cause any warpage of the ABS plastic shroud surrounding them??

Thanks in advance, Art

i don't see this happening on any exhaust, short of some thin straight pipes and no cat. that plastic's pretty tough.

i have had mine for about six months, No problem here, just dont brush your leg up against the tips when their hot, I have a bad habbit of doing that when I walk around to the back of the car to open the trunk. Does somebody smell burning flesh?

I've got 4" Hymee stainless tips, no problems. Though Hymee melted his shrouds while doing extended dyno work with no airflow. He's the only person I've seen who's posted with this issue......he has 4" tips, too.
